Mame Spinner for Arkanoid?
<< < (2/5) > >>
rhett:
I really wish that I had known beforehand that the Turbo Twist 2 and SpinTrak are the only retail spinners that work with Arkanoid.  I'm really surprised at this considering that the SlikStik tornado spinner gets such good reviews.  The tornado spinner is well constructed, but I assumed that a lot of people who buy a spinner for their mame box expect to be able to play Arkanoid.

I really think the link to that mousehack guy's thing should not be in this thread.  I'm sure he sells an honest product, but I have seen no evidence that his spinner has the resolution to properly support Arkanoid.

In my opinion, I cant imagine why anyone buys any spinner other than those 2.  I'm glad that this is cleared up now, at least in my mind.

I took a TurboTwist2 and made a mini-panel out of it that I quite like.  It works well with Arkanoid, though it seems to work better with Arkanoid II.  With Arkanoid, it jumps around somewhat.

I would be interested to know what people think the best Mame settings in the Analog Controls section would be for this spinner when playing Arkanoid, i.e., when playing arkanoid with a TurboTwist2, what are the best settigs for Dial Digital Speed and Dial Sensitivity?

I was trying the different versions of Arkanoid and realized that there is a noticeable difference in the games. Seems like Arkanoid 2 seems to better suit the spinner sensitivity wise. Anyone who's played with these settings, what did you set the sensitivity to better fit Arkanoid 1 and the Taito version of arkanoid?

You can't use the same settings for both of those games.  If you try to use the TurboTwist2 for Arkanoid without reducing the sensitivity, it will be too touchy.

Try ~41% for Arkanoid and 81% for DOH.  You may need to tweak these down a little if you are using a smaller knob than was used on the original, or up a little for a larger knob.

I use the slik stik tornando spinner.  I don't change anything as far as the sensitivity goes, but man playing the original ark. is tough.  Challenging to say the least.  The arkanoid 2 is more like how it should be.  So I just play the 2nd one.
